I'm building my bodyI'm happy when I'm building my bodyI'm tired of fighting, let's make friendsI'm tired of burning both endsThat's why I'm building my bodyIt hurts me but I'm building my bodyAnd I know what the pain is worthI know I feel the pain of birthI'm pushin' upAnd gettin' down with my bodyThere's no-one else around with my bodyOne look says I'm a stone disgraceDon't kick no sand in my face

Because I'm building my body strongI'm watching what I eatAnd I'm sorting out right from wrongHey, not a lot of meatAnd I know that it won't be longBefore I gotta quit smoking
